No food wasted!!!! Potato Edition 🥔

What is your regrow specialty?

I took a bag of sprouted pantry potatoes, tossed ’em in some soil and compost… and just like that, look at what we’ve got here. 👀🥔

Give it a few months and we’ll be digging up homegrown potatoes we didn’t have to buy, plus setting a few aside to do it all over again.

This is how you break cycles and build abundance, one forgotten spud at a time. Never buy potatoes again. Just grow, harvest, repeat.

... Read moreRegrowing potatoes is an empowering and sustainable gardening practice that can significantly enhance your homegrown vegetable output. By utilizing sprouted potatoes from your pantry, you can efficiently create a cycle of regeneration. When you plant these sprouted potatoes, they will develop into new plants that yield fresh tubers in just a few months. This not only provides you with a continuous supply of homegrown potatoes, eliminating the need for store-bought ones, but it also contributes to reducing food waste. In addition to being environmentally friendly, regrowing potatoes is incredibly rewarding. The process begins with selecting healthy sprouted potatoes. Make sure they have at least one 'eye', which is where the shoots will emerge. Plant them in a nutrient-rich soil with compost, ensuring they have enough space to grow and access to sunlight. Water them regularly but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to rot. As they grow, you’ll not only enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting your own food but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. This practice aligns with the principles of homesteading and farm-to-table practices, encouraging individuals to reconnect with their food sources while promoting self-sufficiency. Join the movement of waste reduction by growing your own potatoes - once you start, you'll never want to stop! Remember: 'Waste nothing and grow everything!' Embrace this journey towards sustainability and discover the joy of self-sufficient gardening.

It’s hit or miss with store bought potatoes because they are sprayed. What actually happened to me was it sprouted become a plant but when the plant died back. The potatoes disintegrated. So I used it for rich soil 👍🏾
